Partner Abuse Intervention - Community Hope & Recovery Center

09/18/2025

✨ Today, September 18th, brings us a mix of awareness, celebration, and even a tasty excuse to grab lunch!

🇺🇸 Air Force Birthday – We honor the brave service members who protect our skies and our freedoms.
❤️ National HIV/AIDS & Aging Awareness Day – A reminder that health and wellness matter at every age. Let’s continue to fight stigma and support education, prevention, and care.
🍔 National Cheeseburger Day – Because sometimes the best way to celebrate community is sharing a meal (and who doesn’t love a cheeseburger?).

At Community Hope and Recovery Center, we believe in connection, growth, and respect — and days like this remind us that awareness can be meaningful and fun.

👉 How are you celebrating today? Honoring a veteran, learning something new, or maybe grabbing a burger? Share with us below!

September is Su***de Prevention Month – Let’s Talk About the Overlap with Intimate Partner Violence 💜💛

Su***de and intimate partner violence are deeply connected public health issues. Survivors of IPV are at a significantly higher risk of suicidal thoughts and attempts—often due to emotional abuse, isolation, financial control, or threats that leave them feeling trapped and hopeless.

Abuse is never just “physical.” Emotional and psychological abuse can create invisible wounds that feel unbearable. For some, leaving an abusive relationship or reaching out for help may seem impossible—but hope and help are real and available.

💬 If you or someone you know is struggling:
• Call or text the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.)—available 24/7.
• Connect with the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or text START to 88788.
• Locally, you can contact [insert your PAIP or local resource info here] for confidential support and referrals.

This month—and every month—let’s remind survivors they are not alone. By raising awareness, checking in on friends or family, and supporting local resources, we can help break the cycle of violence and despair.

Did you know that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in the U.S. experience severe intimate partner violence in their lifetime?

Let’s come together to raise awareness, support survivors, and advocate for change. Every step we take is a step toward safety, healing, and hope.

This October, let’s walk together to raise awareness, honor survivors, and stand up to silence. Your steps can help break the cycle of abuse and bring hope to those who need it most.
